What is the Clean Hydrogen Value Chain? Clean Hydrogen refers to hydrogen that is produced in a manner that minimizes or completely eliminates greenhouse gas emissions. The two main pathways for clean hydrogen production are: Green Hydrogen: produced by electrolysis of water powered by renewable electricity. Blue Hydrogen: produced by reforming natural gas with carbon capture installed to capture the CO2 emissions generated in the process. The Clean Hydrogen Value Chain consists of all processes used in the production, distribution (including hydrogen storage), and end-use of clean hydrogen. What are the current and emerging uses of clean hydrogen? Historically, the...

What is CCUS (Carbon Capture, Utilization, Storage)? Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) is a set of processes used to “capture” carbon dioxide (CO2) from emissions generated by large-scale industrial and power generation processes. CCUS is a decarbonization solution that can be used in any process that uses a fossil fuels – including power generation, steelmaking, cement production, refining and petrochemical production, natural gas processing, and ammonia and fertilizer production. Once CO2 is captured, it can be transported for use in certain industrial processes or for safe and permanent sequestration underground. How is CO2 captured? There are three main categories...

Ammonia (NH3) is produced by the catalytic reaction of nitrogen and hydrogen. It can also be found naturally, from the decomposition of plants, animals and animal waste. About 80% of the ammonia produced by industry is used in agriculture as fertilizer. Ammonia is also used in the manufacture of plastics, explosives, textiles, pesticides, dyes and other chemicals. Ammonia plays an important role in the energy transition because it is a flexible, long-term energy carrier and zero-carbon fuel. What is Green Ammonia? Ammonia can be made synthetically by combining nitrogen with hydrogen, in a process called ammonia synthesis. When this process...
